Weinberger The Secretary of Defense Attention: Assistant for Audit Reports Dear Mr. Secretary: Subject: 5 ditional Efforts Needed to Improve Morale, Welfare, and Recreation Program Management (FPCD-81-59) g We recently looked at various aspects of the Department of Defense's (DOD's) morale, welfare, and recreation (MWR) programs and believe that many steps already taken by DOD and the services will improve MWR program management. These steps include (1) the establishment of minimum standards by the Army, (2) periodic needs surveys in the Army and Air Force, (3) DOD's policy directive on the prescribed funding of MWR construction projects, (4) the Air Force Audit Agency's study of MWR management, and (5) a recent study done for the Navy on the Navy and Marine Corps' MWR programs. We found, however, that additional efforts are needed to es- tablish minimum standards and periodic surveys by which to assess needs and monitor progress. We also found that the services' headquarters need specific information on the types of activities offered. OBJECTIVES, SCOPE, AND METHODOLOGY MWR programs encompass a broad range of personnel sup- port activities which affect the lives of millions of active duty military personnel, dependents, and retirees. Ex- changes, clubs, sports facilities, libraries, and recreation centers are some of the many MWR activities available. DOD considers the MWR program vital to the morale and well-being of service members, believing that it contributes to unit identity, esprit de corps, and improved combat readiness and, therefore, supports the military mission.
